Alger was a little surprised by Lisana’s sudden concern.
Lisana found that Alger was looking at her oddly and she quickly realized what she had just said. She then turned around and left anxiously with a flushed face.
After Lisana left, Alger didn’t think too much about it. He immediately put this behind him.
After work, Alger was about to contact Winnie, but he got a message from Winnie, asking him to go help Alina and that she would take a cab home.
When Alger saw this message, he felt very speechless in his mind. He didn’t know what Alina said to Winnie. Even though Alina asked Alger to pretend to be her boyfriend and go home to meet her parents, Winnie wasn’t mad at all.
But since Winnie had said so, Alger was much more relieved. After replying to the message, he packed his stuff and rushed to the place Alina had informed him about.
The two of them didn’t go to Alina’s home right away, but met beforehand to get the story straight.
“Let me tell you, don’t think that there’s really something between us just because I’m taking you home. Everything we’re doing now is only to deceive my parents. Do you understand?” Alina looked at Alger and said.
After hearing that, Alger turned around and wanted to leave. Alina quickly went forward and stopped him when she saw that Alger wanted to leave. She then said unhappily, “What are you doing? Didn’t you agree to go to my home?”
“I’m afraid if I really go with you, you’ll misunderstand.” Alger looked at Alina and said speechlessly, “I haven’t even gone there with you but you’re already assuming that I will develop feelings for you. If I really go there, I’ll probably be doomed!”
Alger knew better than Alina that everything they were doing right now was just an act. If possible, he didn’t even want to be involved with this.
“Hm!” Alina was very dissatisfied with Alger’s reaction. “Oh my god, what do you mean? Do you know how many people are pursuing me? Why are you so unwilling to pretend to be my boyfriend?”
“Alright, cut the crap. What are we going to do when we see your parents later?” Alger frowned and said as he looked at Alina, “I don’t want to hear you say that you want me to visit your family again in the future.”
“Don’t worry. This will definitely not happen in the future!” Alina said directly, “We either make my parents believe that you’re indeed my boyfriend and I’ll tell them that we’ve already broken up in the future.
“Or do we make my parents hate you?” Alina shrugged and said, “Anyway, I hope this will end quickly no matter what.”
“Got it. In that case, it’s better to make your parents hate me,” Alger immediately said.
If that happened, they would be able to end this ridiculous drama.
After the two of them got the story straight, they drove off.
When they arrived at the villa of Alina’s family, Alina looked at Alger and reminded him again, “Do you still remember what we just said?”
“Don’t worry!” Alger nodded and said, “I’ll definitely make your parents hate me.”
“Okay!”
Alina held Alger’s arm again as she opened the door and said, “Mom, Dad, we’re back.”
A middle-aged couple was sitting in the room. The man was reading a newspaper, while the woman was watching TV on the side.
When the two of them heard the voice, they looked up at Alger.
Alina’s mom, Madam Gina, looked a bit bad. Evidently, she was dissatisfied with Alina’s boyfriend.
Tim next to her nodded slightly at Alger and said with a deep voice, “Come in.”
Even though Alger’s goal was to make the two of them hate him, he knew basic etiquette.
So, when he saw the two of them, Alger nodded politely and said, “Uncle, Auntie.”
“Hm, have a seat.” Mr. Tim looked at the couch on the side and asked both of them to sit.
When facing her parents, Alina seemed to be much more restrained than before, and she sat on the couch with Alger.
Madam Gina kept sizing Alger up with an indifferent gaze. As soon as the two of them sat down, she directly asked.
“Alger, right? How did you meet? Where do you work right now?”
Alger had never thought that the other party would immediately ask questions like these. He thought they would make some polite remarks first, so he was also a bit surprised.
Alina quickly said, “We met by coincidence in the past. Mom, why are you asking these questions?”
Madam Gina glanced at Alina in dissatisfaction as she frowned and said, “Just sit there. I didn’t ask you.”
Alina could only shut her mouth and looked at Alger speechlessly.
Alger subconsciously wanted to say that he was a manager at the Youssie Corporation, but thinking that the main purpose of coming here was to make these two hate him, he changed his words and said, “I’m jobless right now.”
“What?”
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed through Mr. Tim’s eyes. He looked at Alger and said, “You’re already at this age, but you still haven’t found a job yet?”
“That’s right. If you don’t even have a job, how can you fulfill Alina’s material needs if she stays with you?” Madam Gina nodded and agreed.
“I’m sure I can satisfy her basic material needs. Even though I’m jobless right now, my family is rich. I can definitely give Alina whatever she wants.” Alger directly leaned against the couch, acting like a rich man’s son.
Seeing Alger like this, Mr. Tim and Madam Gina both looked even worse.
Alina coughed twice in slight embarrassment, trying to remind Alger to take it down a bit.
However, Alger thought Alina was saying that he wasn’t doing enough and that he should act even more ignorant and incompetent, so he looked Mr. Tim and Madam Gina and said arrogantly, “Uncle, Auntie, if you want anything, you can just tell me. My family is rich anyway. We don’t care about these things at all.”
Mr. Tim frowned as he looked at Alger and said, “I’ve never thought your family is so rich. So, what does your family do exactly?”
“What do we do?”
Alger pretending to be thinking. He touched his chin and said suddenly, “What do we do exactly? It’s not easy to say, but our family is involved in various industries. The couch and TV in your home may also come from a company we own a stake in!”
Seeing Alger acting like a thug, Mr. Tim and Madam Gina both felt even more dissatisfied in their minds.
Mr. Tim sized Alger up. Seeing the clothes he was wearing, he knew that this guy was definitely bluffing, so he wanted to expose Alger’s lie.
Mr. Tim looked at Alger and said, “If your family is involved in so many industries, you should know more or less something about it, right?”
“Well…”
Alger looked at Alina, as if he was asking if he should know something or not.
Alina frowned and glared at Alger.. Even though she hoped that this could end as soon as possible, what Alger said just now was too much!
